Hi,
Could you tell me please what the fields STAT and TIME mean in the PS command output. I have read the man page without success. By example:
Thank

see man ps
Agreed, you should check out the man page, but perhaps you didn't have success with that, as mentioned before.
Stat == State, which tells you if something is currently runnable, sleeping, zombied, so on and so forth...it's listed under the section Process State Codes in the man page (man ps)
Time is the field that tells you how much CPU time the process has used. I think, I could be wrong about this portion of it.
